Minion-safe tunneling and pinpoint block removal
The Stardust Drill is a precision mining tool tailored to summoners and builders seeking steady excavation without wide swinging arcs. Boasting 225% pickaxe power, it swiftly deconstructs all subterranean tiles including Lihzahrd Brick and Cobalt Ore. The drill offers a +3 tile range extension bonus, allowing users to hollow out tunnels from a comfortable distance. While drilling, it deals 50 base melee damage with a 15 animation cycle that operates independently of melee attack speed buffs.
Celestial assembly and summoner utility
Crafting the tool requires combining Luminite Bars with Stardust Fragments at an Ancient Manipulator. Its direct forward boring path prevents accidental destruction of delicate plants or nearby objects, allowing summoners to navigate underground while their minions engage aggressive monsters nearby. The drill's constant digging cadence provides steady performance for players wearing summoner robes that lack melee speed perks.
Trivia
- The azure drill head coordinates visually with summoner gear crafted from Stardust Fragments.
- Continuous drilling allows steady block removal without accidentally targeting friendly critters.
